Update: Updating FRITZ!OS
AVM provides regular free updates for your FRITZ!Box. This
software—called FRITZ!OS—controls all of the FRITZ!Box func-
tions. Updates provide for maximum security for your
FRITZ!Box, contain further developments of existing FRITZ!Box
functions and often also introduce new functions for your
FRITZ!Box.
Performing an Update with the Wizard
A wizard is available in the FRITZ!Box user interface to assist
you in updating your FRITZ!Box. The wizard checks whether
an update of the FRITZ!OS is available for your FRITZ!Box and
guides you step by step through installation.
Performing the Update
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface; see
.
2.
On the “Overview” page, select the “Wizards” menu.
3.
Start the “Update” wizard.
The Wizard checks whether a FRITZ!OS update is avail-
able for your FRITZ!Box.
If the Wizard finds an update, it displays the version
number of the new FRITZ!OS. Click the link under the
FRITZ!OS version to view information about further de-
velopments and new functions contained in the
FRITZ!OS update.
Always install the latest version of FRITZ!Box on all FRITZ!
products in your FRITZ!OS home network. This keeps your
FRITZ! products up to date and ensures optimum synchroni-
zation of all devices in your home network.
Interrupting the FRITZ!OS update could damage your
FRITZ!Box. Do not clear the connection between
FRITZ!Box and the computer during a FRITZ!OS update,
and do not unplug the power cord.
